Purpose: Although commonly perceived as an acceptable and normal part of aging, unaddressed or inadequately managed hearing loss (UIMHL) is an economically and socially recognized cause of human disability and morbidity. It creates a global burden that negatively affects individuals and nations, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries and vulnerable populations. Immediate- and long-term health, social, and economic consequences include psychosocial problems, deterioration of cognitive function, loss of productivity, and poor well-being. Despite a growing body of evidence that interventions can ameliorate these concerns, fewer than 80% receive them. Access to services, perceived costs, and stigma are commonly blamed to avoid intervention. The purpose of this article is to raise awareness and highlight solutions to reduce the impact of UIMHL on a particularly vulnerable population: the Palestinian people living in refugee camps. Method: This article discusses the approach of a humanitarian organization that aims to improve service uptake, reduce detrimental impacts, and address the ethical implications of improving outcomes for those with UIMHL. Conclusions: Hearing and auditory wellness are key factors in improving the quality of life and health of vulnerable populations. When international humanitarian organizations aim to improve the outcomes of those with UIMHL, their services must be culturally sensitive and fully consider the vulnerabilities and needs of the population. Furthermore, they must promote outreach and education in partnership with local practitioners for their work to continue beyond a one-time visit. The use of social accompaniment to empower local stakeholders and expand service delivery is also discussed.
